Abstract

The competition between the elastic energy and the electrostatic energy induces particular shapes of the phase front at the KD2PO4 first-order transition. The coexistence of the two phases is reported for a paraelectric-ferroelectric transition; the relevant domain textures and dielectric properties are described. It is shown that the tilt angle between the phase front and the (001) plane never exceeds 22 degrees in the experiments.
